I can promise you we won't see 15 exclusive titles for X1 in the first 12 months of release. Take the only real game they showed for example. " The game, which is not a launch title, he said, is still early in development" that means it will be `18-36 months EASY before it sees the light of day. 8 of those 15 are supposed to be new IP. I'm willing to be 3 of those 8 are somehow kinect or non-traditional controller based games, and 2 or three of those 8 will NOT release in the given 12 month window. Leaving MAYBE 1 of those new IP, that will release in 12 months, that core gamers will care about, that won't involve kinect. The other 7 (of the 15 that is) will be sequels to already tired games. Of those 7, 5 will make their way to PC/PS3/4 within 1-2 years (meaning they're not REALLY exclusive at all) This is a more likely scenario for how the "15 exclusive games, 8 or which will be new IP released within 12 months of launch" will go. That paints a MUCH different picture doesn't it....more the MS we all know and hate.

Why do you care really? Writing all this text just to see people's reaction? Wow somebody applause him... 

Edit: Not worth the ban... 



Rare Ltd. - that's a possible key. But I must stress the importance of not abandoning the Xbox 360! They abandoned Xbox 1 after just 4 years. Given the installed user base of 24.7 million or so it had - a big mistake. It was still selling a lot - Halo 2 sold $100+ million - 8 million copies or so. It was just getting warmed up.

Thus we keep up Xbox 360, and we continue with Xbox 3. Perfect. Question - how long will Xbox 3 take to sell 76 million copies? Good question - a heck of a long time! Several years. This is no time to ditch the Xbox 360.

Halo 5 - should release for Xbox 360. The last one sold 8 million copies - that's $400 million you know. $100+ million in profit. It will continue to sell throughout the following years to - 10 million, then 12, etc. Also - we release Halo for Xbox 3 - a different version of it.
